Abstract: | gamma Aminobutyric acid (GABA) was determined by precolumn derivatization with 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde and elution was made using Phenomenex C(18), 5 microm column with methanol: water (62:38 v/v) and UV detection at 330 nm. In a mixture containing glycine, l-lysine and tyramine GABA separated completely. A number of amines and amino acids tested did not affect the response of GABA. A linear calibration curve was obtained for GABA in the range of 1.2-28.0 microg/ml with detection limit of 2.8 ng/injection (5 microl). The method was used for the determination of GABA in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) samples and gave results of 19.0 to 22.4 microg/m1 with coefficient of variation 2.4% |
